In a recent TikTok video, the Canadian-Maltese shared a snap of his grandfather in front of a door, only to transition to himself standing in front of the same door.
“Today was a special day”, Houle wrote, “I got to walk the streets of Valletta where my Nannu gew up. Where he played as a child and where he left to start a new life many years ago.”
He concluded the post with a heartfelt sentiment, stating “I can’t begin express what it means to be able to stand where he once did, in the place that influenced our family’s deep roots of Maltese culture. I can feel you smiling down on us as we are walking the city you loved so dearly.”
